Answer:

h = 9.87 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Base, b = 8 cm

Height = h

Angle, $\theta=51^{\circ}$

We need to find the value of h. We can use trigonometry to find h.

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}\\\\\tan(51)=\dfrac{h}{8}\\\\h=\tan(51)\times 8\\\\h=9.87\ cm$

So, the height of the triangle is 9.87 cm.

1. Which would be a more helpful for solving the system: adding the two equations or subtracting

ira [324]

Answer:

1) Subtracting one from the other

2) x = 0.375 and y = 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1 :

$\frac{2x+1}{2y}=7\\\\$

Equation 2:

$\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5$

To solve these equations by the Elimination method we multiply equation 1 with 6 and multiply equation 2 with 2 so now,

$\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\\\Multiplying\ Equation\ 1\ with\ 6\\\\12x+6=84y$

Now for the second equation:

$\frac{6x-1}{2y}=5\\\\6x-1=10y\\\\Multiplying\ equation\ 2\ with\ 2 \\\\12x-2=20y$

Now subtracting equation 2 from equation 1

$12x+6=84y\\\\12x-2=20y\\\\Subtracting\ leads\ to\\12x-12x+6-(-2)=84y-20y\\0+8=64y\\8=64y\\8/64=y\\0.125=y$

now insert this value of y into any equation

lets insert it into equation 1

$\frac{2x+1}{2y} =7\\\\2x+1=14y\\2x+1=14(0.125)\\2x+1=1.75\\2x=1.75-1\\2x=0.75\\x=0.75/2\\x-0.375$

Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? graph of an inequality with a solid horizontal line through the point 0,

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$y\geq -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality has the attached picture as its graph.. The inequality passes through (0,-1) and is a horizontal line. This means the inequality has the form y b where b is the y-coordinate. Since the \shading is above the line then the values must be greater than -1. It is also a solid line so the inequality is equal to. The inequality is $y\geq -1$

The height of the Empire State Building is 1250 feet tall. Your friend, who is 75 inches tall, is standing nearby and casts a sh

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

$\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ = }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}$
